Tacos are an easy meal that everyone loves and they can be healthy! They can also be individualized to each member of your family. Choose lean beef, chicken, or even black beans for the protein. Add lots of veggies for toppings such as grilled onions and peppers, corn, tomatoes or salsa, lettuce, and avocado. You can also substitute taco shells with bell pepper boats or a baked sweet potato. Be sure to use portion control when topping with cheese and sour cream. Most of all, don’t forget to have fun with it!
